Hell, When the wifes phone was stolen she reported it to the cops, next day she filed an insurance claim, they asked for the police report number, she rang the cops to get it, THEY HADN'T WRITTEN ANYTHING DOWN. You can't file it if it doesn't even freakin exist. And to top it off, You tell them they suck at their job and they start making noises about arresting ya for disorderly behaviour.... |

| 584254 | 2007-08-24 11:28:00 | They'll give you a file/report number which, when you give it to the insurance company, will make the claims side of it easier. Had something similar happen some years ago and they said that the property serial number would be entered in to some sort of database, just in case it ever turned up again. | Scouse (83) | ||

If the thief gets a new SIM they can still use the phone. Not sure but that is what I have heard. |

Vodafone is always a good place to start for the real info Once the phone is blacklisted no sim will work vodafonenz.custhelp.com |
